If you would like some help managing your references and inserting citations in your assignments, sign up for 5 Days of Endnote this week. Just follow the blog: https://5daysofendnote.wordpress.com/. You will learn how to create an Endnote account, export reference details from iFind and insert references and citations in Word.

An EndNote app for the iPad is due to be released in January 2013. You can register now to get yours for $1 at http://endnote.com/purchase/ipad-app-offer. The full price will be $9.99 – it will be available in the UK although it is priced in dollars.

Staff are also welcome to attend if you don’t mind joining in with postgrads.

EndNote is a bibliographic management package – it allows you to build up your personal database of references which can be formatted automatically in Word when you write up your thesis. It is available for use on campus or can be bought at a discounted price (currently around £69) for use at home. You can find more information about EndNote in Blackboard.

There is also a web version of EndNote – EndNote web which can be used anywhere for free during your time at Swansea although it has slightly less functionality than the full package. The workshop will introduce both versions and you can choose which you prefer to work on during the session.

BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL as places are limited. Please book by replying to this e-mail giving your name, department and e-mail address and saying which of the dates you prefer – you only need to come to one. The workshops are free to Swansea University postgraduates. Staff are also welcome to attend.
